Hi! I have finished my first project and just figured out how to run the tests and find that I am failing the tests. I don’t know why it’s failing and would love some feedback as I feel like I have no clue what I am doing.

Please, for future posts, do not paste a garble of unformatted code. I have partially formatted your code, but this is still not ideal.
In the future, if you have a question about a specific challenge/lesson on the fCC curriculum, use the Get Help button. It will create a pre-populated forum post for you, in the correct subforum.
Also, for help with the certification projects, please paste a link to your CodePen or similar. It would be that much easier to help you, if you linked it.
When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor ( </> ) will also add backticks around text.
This was my very first post and it would not let me put in my link. I am sorry to have asked for help since I seem to have done it incorrectly. I was really nervous to even post because I didn’t want to be put down for not knowing. I won’t be reaching out for help in the future since it wasn’t well received this time. Sorry for taking your time.
You weren’t being put down, you were being given information to help both you and the rest of us help you. If you still want help then just provide a link to your project code.
Update: Sorry, I didn’t read carefully enough that you weren’t allowed to add a link because it was your first post. That probably slipped by Sky020 as well. I’m assuming that by the time most people get to the projects they have posted here enough to not have that restriction, so we probably made that assumption as well. Please don’t take it personally, everyone here is actually very helpful and nice.
Since you can’t post a link right now, maybe split it up into two pieces? Or maybe you can put triple backticks around it?
I had a different issue with the same moderator, so I know what the person feels like, from a beginner’s perspective it totally feels different. I think some moderator should learn from other moderators like ArielLeslie on how to communicate.
Don’t ever feel bad asking for help, that is what the forum and the community is here for. And don’t feel bad about the code, almost nobody who is new to the forum knows how to post code correctly. That is really our fault, not yours.
It would be great if you can post a Codepen link. You can “break” the link by adding a space between codepen and .io in the URL which should let you post the link.
Looking at your code you are missing some of the ids the test needs. The ids are used by the test to check the requirements and so they have to match exactly what it says in the User Stories. You can click the red button on the test window to see what tests are failing and why. The messages are fairly descriptive and should give you a good idea of what is wrong.
Not sure if you are relieved of your frustrations, but I would totally be willing to help you if you still need it. I would even be willing to walk you through it over a online call where you or I could share our respective screens as necessary.
Coding alone can sometimes be tough and overwhelming. I’d hate for you to get discouraged. Hitting a roadblock is normal even for the best programmers.
Let me know. I’ll be around on FCC tomorrow (Monday).
Please understand that my intentions were to inform you of the use of the forum. Nothing more.
EDIT: Not correct Also, please note: anyone is able to provide a link to their project, as long as they do it through the Get Help button on the specific challenge. For the projects, as long as they have put a URL in the solution box when they use the Ask for Help button, it will appear in the prepopulated post.
And again, as a new post, I couldn’t submit a link EVEN AFTER going through the channels you stated. I tried to do everything the correct way for the best opportunity for help. I apologize if I came across harshly, but it is really frustrating and came across condescending, even if that wasn’t your intent. Just a newb’s two cents. I appreciate your trying to help, I just feel that instead of telling me that I needed to do xyz, please try to understand where I am coming from of the system telling me I couldn’t do it the way you told me to. I now know a different way and may reach back out for help but ultimately, this was not a good experience for me and reinforced my desire to work alone as I have a severe anxiety when it comes to asking for help.
Hi Christopher, I never managed to get it worked out and actually needed to take time away from it. I found myself worked up and suffering from a severe lack of sleep and patience. I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you for your gracious offer.
@lunavwinchester, on a side note, when any of the tests fail you can click on the red button and it will show which test(s) failed and give you log text that should help you figure out what went wrong with your code.
It’s now giving me actual information. It wouldn’t do that at all last time. Gah, I feel like I have zero clue what I am doing lol. I really appreciate you helping me and walking me through this. I know I am stubborn and can be difficult to work with at times. Thank you.
Nope, no worries. You’re doing good. If we were born knowing this none of us would be here.
Go ahead and try and resolve those issues. If you have problems give another shout out.
Btw, interesting person you chose to tribute. I’m not familiar with her so will be doing a little looking up.
I’ve looked your tribute page and some errors are easy-fix. I just type some code in your codepen and ran the test: 5 / 10. Just chek the directions in the red button
I paste my tribute page link: You could see it, play with the code and see how the page changes and after that you could applied into your own page.
